Being realistic and knowing that we probably weren't as good as the Sox, it's hard to think that we can come back . IF...IF we can get past Hammels tonight, we have a chance....albeit a slim one.

On another note.....the Rays treated the full time employees to all expense paid to game 3 and 4 up in Philly. The fans were so bad there that they needed extra security because fans were "animals" as the media put it. I guess they were throwing food and beer all over the kids in Rays gear and calling the woman vulgar things just for being, well a woman in Rays gear.
Talk about a real home field advantage....they had anyone without Phillies gear in fear.

The rays had a great run and are positioned to get even better.
